WorkBench #5: Workbench (almost) done

Well I have been tardy in updating my blog for my workbench. It’s been so long that my bench looks well used and even abused. It’s almost done: I still need to find and fit two drawer fronts. My idea is to make the drawer fronts out of 6 different woods. So far I have European Beech, Matai, Oak and Maple.

I am very pleased with how the bench turned out, here are some pictures:

It is rock solid, if I hadn’t inserted some drawers we would be using it as an earthquake shelter :-).

That’s very kind of you, I have enough Rimu to do a drawer front so one more would be great. It kind of seems a shame to use rosewood or walnut on a workbench, especially as it’s a user rather than a looker.
